Sure, here’s the re-written article:

Forget Call of Duty, Marathon, or even Battlefield 6. Splitgate 2 has me all hyped up. The first game? It mixed Halo with Portal like a dream but fizzled out kinda quick—needed more, I guess. Splitgate 2 promises more fireworks. The open beta’s here now, showing off almost everything you’ll get later. And hey, there’s no end in sight for this beta, and all your progress? It stays with you. Neat, right?
Tried Splitgate 2 during the last playtest. Honestly, it nails it again in gameplay—Unreal Engine 5 jazzing things up with smoother moves and nicer visuals. That Halo-style shooting? Still kicking. Portaling (love that word) stays central, adding some next-level skill ceiling. Plus, class-based stuff brings in more mind games—strategies galore.
They know it’s tough out there in the live service world, so 1047 Games packed Splitgate 2 with a boatload of modes and maps. The beta? It’s got most of what launch will offer. From classic shooter feels to epic 24-player Onslaught madness. So many maps to play on—new battlegrounds, folks. Oh, and meet the Borealis, a chargeable carbine rifle, your new power friend.
Got an open beta battle pass until the full release. Here’s a cool twist—hunt down developers in-game for a special skin. Yep, look for the ‘flaming disco ball’ dev skins. Take one down, earn your own skin. Talk about incentives.
The cherry on this beta sundae? The Lab. A mad, Forge-style map editor letting you build as you please. Go solo or bring along 15 friends to create the ultimate Splitgate arena.
Jump into the Splitgate 2 beta on PC (Steam, Microsoft Store, Epic), Steam Deck, or consoles like Xbox and Playstation. Runs until the full summer launch, progress intact.
